The audit consists of 12 categories which are categorised by movement, buildings and open space/landscaping and should be used alongside our Urban Design Supplementary Guide.

Applicants are encouraged to complete the quality audit which will be assessed by officers from planning, transportation and housing to inform consultees' responses to development proposals. Advice on how to complete the quality audit can be found in the guidelines (PDF). Where an applicant does not submit a quality audit, we will assess the development proposals according to the proposals set out in the quality audit.
